PLC/PACs
Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), also known as Programmable Automation Controllers (PACs), are digital real-time computers widely used in various industries to automate and control plant processes.
We provide comprehensive training on any PLC/PAC system, catering to different competency levels and delivery formats. Our expertise includes specialised learning programs tailored and delivered to Rio Tinto and BHP.
Smart Automation Starts Here: Discover the Power of PLCs.
Revolutionize your automation with versatile and robust Programmable Logic Controllers.
about this course FORMAT
Our “Online” training course offers you the flexibility to complete the program at your own pace, making it convenient for your schedule. You can choose to take the course entirely online or with real-time interaction with an instructor.
This course leans more towards theoretical concepts compared to face-to-face training, primarily due to its online delivery format. However, a hybrid approach with occasional classroom visits may be available.s

about this course FORMAT
Our “Face to Face” training courses offer engaging, instructor-led sessions in a traditional classroom environment. Participants enjoy the benefits of being part of a small workgroup, which encourages interactive learning and provides personalised attention to technical topics that can be based on your ‘site specific’ assets and requirements.
This method of training can provide a faster route to achieving specific competences in a particular subject area, particularly if it integrates your employer site policies and procedures.
Who the course is for
Maintenance, engineering, management and process staff working with PLC/PAC systems and are looking for classroom based training.
What you'll learn
Learning outcomes are customised to your site requirements and attendees proficiency, example outcomes are listed below:
- Correctly selecting, replacing and configuring PLC hardware of selected vendor(s); e.g. Rockwell, Schneider, Siemens and GE.
- Understanding local, distributed and remote PLC I/O systems.
- Transferring programs to and from a PLC system.
- Understanding essential PLC/HMI integration concepts.
- Learning the application programming environment and languages used on site.
- Becoming familiar with the variables and addressing concepts of specific PLC systems.
- Demonstrating a logical approach to troubleshooting PLC code.
- Understanding the implications of temporarily overriding logic in PLC systems (bridging and forcing).
- Using the diagnostic capabilities of the application software to identify typical PLC automation problems in the field.
- Troubleshooting communications within a PLC system.
